I'm looking for ways to organize/store OTC medicine. Tylenol, cough medicine, Neosporin, band aids, etc.
Currently I'm storing them in a 3 drawer organizer under my husbands bathroom sink with a childproof lock on the cabinet. I'm running out of room. I want to keep the medicine out of reach since I have 2 little ones, but still want it easy for me to get to. Any ideas? Where do you store them?

What can I do next?

Can you put them in a basket or bin in the linen closet with a doorknob cover on it?

We use a hardware organizer from Home Depot. It has many drawers (purpose is to sort the many different screws and nails, etc.) We then keep it in a cabinet with a childproof lock (the magnet kind).

I put the most frequently used medicines in a cabinet in my kitchen. I have the kids medicine on one side and adult medicine on another. It is really easy for me to keep up with and it seems like that is where I dispense it most often anyhow. I also keep some duplicates and less frequently used medicines upstairs in our bathroom with a childproof lock.

We bought one of those locked pantries at walmart for all of our meds/cleaning supplies/etc. Anything we want away from curious hands is in there! It has been a lifesaver! It is convenient enough that I get into it MANY times a day, but large enough that pretty much anything you want to keep away from them fits...I am going to buy one for the garage now also. I highly recommend it for anyone with little ones!!!

Hope this helps
